As soon as he turned over and stood on the eaves of the second floor of the Ruyan Pavilion, and wanted to quietly approach the attic that was short enough to allow people to bend over, he suddenly found a black shadow coming out of the skylight of the attic, and then jumped down to the Corning Street behind the Ruyan Pavilion with great speed and agility.

He only had time to glance at the pitch-black attic and feel a strong and pungent smell of wine, but Wu Zheng didn't have time to go in to find out, and hurriedly jumped down behind the black shadow.

What Wu Zheng didn't expect was that the night pedestrians, who were only less than two feet away and obviously deliberately bent up, ran along the street at an astonishingly fast speed. No matter how hard you try, you can't shorten the distance between the two.

Wu Zheng, who habitually reached into his arms and didn't touch anything, saw the night walker in front of him jump into the house on the street again, so he had to follow the same example and follow it all the way.

Soon, the two of them came to a dark place one after the other, and they couldn't tell whose house it was, and they could only vaguely distinguish that the house in front of them was very large, and it was definitely not the courtyard wall of an ordinary person's house.

When following the man in black and jumping into the courtyard, in a burst of violent dog barking, seeing that the man in black suddenly turned a corner of the house and suddenly disappeared, Wu Zheng had to hurriedly hide in a canopy of holly between the courtyard wall and the house.

Awakened by the barking of dogs, the lights in the room were instantly lit up, and then someone opened the door and stood in front of it and shouted.

"Ah Huang. ”

When the barking of the dog turned into a low creature, the owner of the house, who had not noticed it, stood for a moment, then turned back and closed the door, and soon the lights in the house were extinguished, and the surroundings fell into darkness again.

I can hear that the owner who came out to visit just now should be not young. Judging by the voice, it will not be less than fifty years old.

Wu Zheng, who felt that his master's reaction was a little abnormal, waited silently for a while before quietly appearing from the holly bushes. Approaching the window of the house lightly, he pressed his ear to the thin window paper, and sure enough, he heard a whisper coming from inside.

No wonder the dog barked, and the owner of the house opened the door with the lamp. There was no delay in getting dressed. Obviously, the owner did not undress and lay down, which is why he reacted so quickly.

Because the voice coming from the room was low and slightly hurried, it was difficult for Wu Zheng to hear clearly. Vaguely, he only heard a few words such as "Ruyan Pavilion", "Zhao Linchen", and "Yue'er", which made Wu Zheng extremely concerned.

Just as he was trying to find a way to hear what the people inside were talking about, Wu Zheng was interrupted by the sound of footsteps and farewell from the room, so he had to turn over and hide in the holly bush again.

After the door was opened again. A thin, tall figure walked in front, followed by the owner who had just gone out to visit. The owner kept sending people out of the backyard, and Wu Zheng also quietly climbed over the courtyard wall, and the cat's waist moved in the direction of the front yard.

Seeing the two break up in front of the courtyard gate, Wu Zheng quickly jumped out into the street outside, intending to follow the thin and tall man. The people who followed all the way and walked in front unhurriedly gradually came to the Yaqian Street in front of the government. even went straight to the Gongyuan next to it.

Ann resisted the surprise in her heart and hid in the shadows on the street corner. It wasn't until he watched the man jump over the wall into the tribute courtyard that Wu Zheng couldn't help but wonder for a moment whether he had encountered a ghost.

Wu Zheng can't help but be so suspicious, and anyone who knows the situation in the Gongyuan will think so.

Originally, in the Gongyuan, which would only be opened during the township test or the government test, there would be two elderly officials who would come to clean one or two during the day. At night, there was no one living at all. What is the intention of the tall and thin man who jumped into it in front of him, and when he turned into it in the middle of the night?

Ignoring the horror rising in his heart and the tingling scalp, Wu Zheng hurriedly came to the wall of the Gongyuan Courtyard. First, he stood on the courtyard wall and looked around for a while, making sure that the person who had just climbed in had not climbed over the wall. That's when he jumped down.

just searched the entire dark Gongyuan, even the cramped room for candidates to answer the questionnaire was not spared, but in the end Wu Zheng found nothing. The tall and thin man who had just entered it seemed to have evaporated out of thin air.

Wu Zheng, who hadn't slept all night, returned to his home in Yonglin Lane before dawn, changed out of his short clothes and shirts, and lay in the room without understanding what happened at night.

First the nocturnal walker who suddenly appeared from the attic of the Smoke Pavilion, then the huge mansion, and the thin and tall figure who jumped into the tribute courtyard and disappeared.

Is it possible to speculate that the night walker who appeared in the attic of the Ruyan Pavilion was deliberately waiting there, and deliberately leading himself to the courtyard so that he could discover the two people hiding in the room in the dark.

And who was that thin and tall man, why did he go to the Tribute Courtyard, and how did he disappear?

It seems that if you want to figure out the latter question, you must first find out who the owner of the house is.

Although he has been living in Linshan City for a long time, Wu Zheng does not like to wander around the streets. There are many places in the city that I have not been to, more than the house that followed the night walkers into this night. That area should be located in the center of the city, and it was the residence of the wealthy merchants and eunuchs in the city. Wu Zheng can only know that.

After breakfast, Wu Zheng first went to the house that was led by night walkers last night to take a look, and found that it was the richest man in Linshan City, Fengnian's family. You don't need to ask anyone, just look at the two large gilt characters "Fengfu" on the lintel.

Wu Zheng, who returned to the mansion, immediately ordered someone to call Qin Jinwen, the head catcher.

"Adult, villain has something important to report. ”

After Qin Jinwen, the head catcher, entered the door and saluted, he said immediately without waiting for Wu Zheng to ask.

"Speak. ”

"Ruyan Pavilion's Jin'er and Yue'er girls suddenly disappeared. ”

"What did you say?!"

It has been concluded that the two must have come for the diamond-shaped mark in the pocket on their chest, but they didn't think that they would give up immediately after only one shot without success, this is also too cautious, right?

"It's true, yesterday afternoon, someone saw the drunken Shi Jin'er girl and the bustard say goodbye, and they took the carriage immediately. ”

"Where's Miss Yue'er?"

"Miss Yue'er walked quietly, no one knew when, but when the villain went to Ruyan Pavilion at night to investigate, he knew that he had left. ”

"Why?"

The bustard said that he had already paid off the silver taels owed to her, so he took his leave and left. It's just that no one has ever seen the Yue'er girl walk out of the Smoke Pavilion. ”

disappeared again, thinking of the thin and tall person who jumped into the tribute courtyard, Wu Zheng's head couldn't help but be a little big.

"Immediately gather all the manpower and go to the Gongyuan with the palace. ”

Although he was surprised in his heart, Qin Jinwen still stared at Wu Zheng in a daze for a while, then quickly turned around and walked out.

Soon, Wu Zheng took the Hefu Catcher and a dozen or so officials to the tribute courtyard across the wall.

"Search all the places in the Gongyuan inch by inch, even the latrines are not allowed to be spared. Report anomalies as soon as they occur. ”
